I have seen no notification of any change in the Sun Ray patch policy,
and I see no technical reason why the patches shouldn't be available
like all other patches, so I hope it's just an accident. Maybe Don can
find out?

They did change it. You need an SW entitlement for those too.
So they enforce the support stuff now for it.

I would bet this will happen for the Sun/Solaris Studio patches too in
the future since those need a SW entitlement too.

Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2 and Sun Solaris Studio 12.1 require contracts.

I am still able to download the Sun Solaris Studio 12 patches while not being
able to download 12.1 or 12.2 patches.


I have appropriate support agreements and it appears that I can use pca
to  download Studio 12.2 patches on the same machine on which I was
having SunRay update fun.  I have downloaded the full SunRay 5.1.2
package and updated the installation  that way.  Seems a bit weird to
have to download over 250 MBytes to get two patches - thank goodness
for a high rate connection to the net.
